Much better to have a reason for the problem and in this case, it cropped up at a very good time (NOT flying). Sorry for the late reply, but I'm trying to get thru 230 Flyrotary messages waiting for me after a 10 day vacation. I've read about 200 of them and have 85 to go. They just keep coming in. :) Bob W.
